REFUGE(E)

REFUGE(E)

Directed by Joan Laage/Kogut Butoh

in collaboration with Will Lopes, Jutta Mayer, Stephanie Tietz, Annina Hunziker, Florian Feit &

Christoph Punzmann

A world in chaos, multitudes of people displaced, frozen in place or constantly moving.

Refuge(e) is the latest in Joan’s body of work inspired by the aftermath of war and the urge to

find a safer, saner place to live. Refugees longing for, searching for “refuge.” She directed this

project in Seattle in February 2024 with local performers and is pleased to be bringing it to

Venice. In April, Joan will join Lucie Betz in Freiburg in their own creation of Refuge. All the

travel journeys, especially in Europe over many years, the waiting in stations – train, ship, air.

Where have all these travelers come from and where are they going and even more so – why?
